This is good news for the Maple Leafs as it looked like Reimer's injury was much more serious. A minimum of one week leaves the door open for him to miss an extended period of time but for now just consider him out and monitor his status going forward.
Reimer had started to get going winning two consecutive and 4 of his last 6 contests. Ben Scrivens gets a fantasy boost if Reimer can't play.
Reimer will get his third straight start tonight against Philadelphia. He is on a 2 game winning streak including a 37-save shutout against Montreal on Saturday. Reimer has stopped 60 of the last 62 shots he faced and he will try to extend his winning streak to 3 tonight. The bad news is the Leafs are at home where they are 1-4-0 this season vs. 6-1-0 on the road.
Reimer is 1-2-0 in his last 3 starts but has played well as of late. He has posted a 2.35 GAA and .929 SV% in those 3 starts. Reimer will go head-to-head with Carey Price tonight who has been on of the NHL's best goalies so far. Toronto beat the Habs in the season opener, so Reimer will look to make it 2-0 vs. their rivals tonight.
Reimer who is a Manitoba native will get the start tonight in Winnipeg. Reimer and Scrivens have played very similar this season, both have .500 records with 2.71 GAA (Reimer) and 2.70 GAA (Scrivens) so the #1 goalie spot really seems up for grabs still. Reimer has seen the majorities of the starts however, and has a good matchup vs. the Jets tonight.
Tonight will be Reimer's 5th straight start (2-2 in the last 4.). Reimer is the apparent #1 in Toronto now and has been playing very well and has actually turned into a decent fantasy option. As long as he continues to get the starts he could be useful in fantasy as long as you play the match-ups.
Reimer is coming off of 2 straight wins and has given the Maple Leafs a chance to win in his starts this season. Reimer has taken the starting job over which has increased his fantasy value but tonight's matchup isn't ideal.
This will be Reimer's third straight start which would indicate that he is the #1 again in Toronto. The Caps have struggled early on this season so it could be a good matchup for Reimer, but you never know when Alex Ovechkin is on the ice.
Ben Scrivens struggled mightily against the Islanders and it now looks to be Reimer's job to lose. This will be Reimer's first back-to-back start this season as he hopes for some better play in front of him. He got peppered for 41 shots on Saturday in a losing effort, but played well. Leafs goalies aren't a fantasy option.
Reimer came in on Thursday to relieve Scrivens who struggled against the Islanders. There's no real surprise here as the Leafs continue to search for their starter. Reimer will be in tough tonight against a hungry Rangers squad.
This would be Reimer's first start of the night after he watched Ben Scrivens go 1-1 (1.53 GAA, .929 SV%). Unfortunately for Reimer his for test of the year comes against one of the top teams in the NHL. The Penguins have scored 9 goals in the first two games, so the Leafs and Reimer are sure to have their hands full tonight.

We're suggesting you look elsewhere for your goaltending even if one of these three is named the starter.
Reimer is hoping his injury will not extend into next season. GM Brian Burke refused to trade him for a first round pick before the trade deadline which is a good indication he will be with the team next year.
Safe to drop Reimer in single-season formats.
Reimer continues to suffer from his head injury and has not even practiced. Safe to drop in all single-season formats.
Seems like Reimer's injury has only escalated since practicing yesterday. At this rate, you should probably drop the Leafs starting goalie.
No word as to the extent of the injury as Reimer practiced this morning.
In four career starts against the Canes, Reimer has a 3-0-1 record with a 1.48 GAA, .949 SV% and one shutout.
Reimer likely faces the Rangers for the first time in his career.
